If #2 does indeed suck, I'm going to do what every self-respecting man does. Bitch and complain that I'm on death's door to wife, and tell the internet/friends I didnt feel a thing.
CoVID-19
Only mentioned the bathtub because I did not get to soak my sore balls because I was too damn lazy to clean it. But don’t learn from my mistake. Enjoy what’s coming your way.
Goddamn kids...
Goddamn kids...
I clean my balls regularly, thanks.
Which vaccine?
Moderna
Get a fucking hot tub to soak your balls in, you goddam amateurs. 
Arm is still sore and feeling a bit... strange. Might be the gummy.

Why spend the capital when I can just use yours?Get a fucking hot tub to soak your balls in, you goddam amateurs.
Why do you want to use @SkaredShtles balls ? Wife won't let you have yours just yet ? You married guys...Why spend the capital when I can just use yours?
Here we go again. Ugh.
I have to be completely honest and say that I've pretty much stopped reading news related to Covid over the past few weeks. Its the same thing day after day here. Or the numbers are like a yo-yo.
I'll just continue to do what I do, which is pretty much just work, sleep, poop, play with the kitteh, ride bikes and drink beer.

Cancelled my Moderna appointment in Ellensburg because I found a J&J shot in West Seattle. Here is to the less effective albeit a hell of a lot more convenient alternative. Actually it looks like J&J is less effective after two weeks than the mRNA vaccines two weeks after the 2nd shot, but efficacy continues to increase for 28 days so probably a wash.

A little too optimistic there imo.
Well, the rest of the sentence tempers any enthusiasm about it.
Fourth wave inbound.
Bonus score vaccination day for the Family. My sister and her husband both got the J&J shot in socal. My wife's sister and her husband both got the Moderna shot in San Benito County. Wife's oldest brother and wife both got Moderna. in Marin. That just leaves the 3 dumbfucks in NM that said its a conspiracy and they aren't going to get a shot
In our household, my sons girlfriend (PSW) has had both of her shots, no idea what she got.
No real side effects. She felt like she was getting a cold but that is it.
My wife (hospital purchasing) just got her first Pfizer yesterday, (second in July) said she was a bit achy and getting fatigued a few hours later and decided to have a nap. I go in every hour or so and give her a poke to see if she is still alive. Extreme fatigue, body aches, minimal appetite, no headache. Said she feels quite similar to getting the flu.
So, healthcare only so far.
Myself (56) and the boys ( 27 and 17) have not a clue as to when we may be eligible, let alone where to go. We have heard, permanent clinic, then it will be a pop-up clinic, and now they don't know.
For fucks sake, we know you don't have the vaccine yet, but you have had a bloody year to put a plan, people and locations in place. These people are so on the ball they would fuck up a pissup in a brewery.

Yeah and world wide the shallow end of the gene pool and trying really hard to wave back.
*sigh*
Real-world data shows vaccines kicking butt—including against scary variant
“Very, very good reason for everyone to get vaccinated,” Fauci says.

I mean, is it really that bad that it is the intentionally uneducated and refusing to be educated part of the gene pool? Sure it sounds like eugenics, but if they want to do it to themselves, I mean... what's the downside here?
Obviously they are going to take some innocents with them, but if they largely take themselves... 
I'm just saying...

I spoke with my mom and she got her first shot some time ago (weeks?) and the second one has now been pushed to the end of June.In our household, my sons girlfriend (PSW) has had both of her shots, no idea what she got.

Lol wut
She works in a pharmacy, fyi.
UK is doing 12 weeks between Pfizer shots, it's supposed to be 3 weeks. I think it's another 3 until my parental units get their second wifi booster.
wife got her first shot on tuesday; i get mine on the 13th with a second scheduled for may 4. maybe i can ride with @AngryMetalsmith by memorial day if that punk ever gets back on two wheels again!
You probably won't be riding anything faster that the couch on May 5th.
Gah, been since September since I've ridden. Would really like to get up to Brevard before the 15th to hit Butter to Cat Gap before Cat closes to bikes for the season.
Meh, just provide your own.

Covid Vaccine Hesitancy Drops Among All Americans
Thought about putting this is in the "Why can't we have some good news?" thread but ultimately it's about Covid... so that's good. Anycrap... the "only if I'm forced to" and "fuck you hell no" crowd is still the same it seems, but at least the folks who were on the fence seem to be gravitating towards just getting vaccinated. And this is not surprising to me:
Fuck 'em.
What does vaccine hesitancy look like in other countries? Or heck, even in 'Murica by region? Surely there are some areas of the country that are more hesitant, no?

Cases are blowing up in Michigan, damn near December levels and 36% of the population has received a vaccination. That is a little disconcerting.
My sis' and mom live in the Thumb where things are extra-shitshow-ish.
From their description of local behavior, though, nobody should be surprised. Not the brightest bulbs 'round there.

Is MI the only state that's spiking like that? I tooled around with the Compare Trends graphing tool on the CDC site for a bit and no other state I plugged in has that sort of spike. Many/most states are trending up, but not like that.
